Solution: K Closest Points to Origin

Solution: K Closest Points to Origin

Let's solve the K Closest Points to Origin problem using the Top K Elements pattern.

We'll cover the following...

Statement

Given a list of points on a plane, where the plane is a 2-D array with (x, y) coordinates, find the kk closest points to the origin (0,0)(0, 0).

Note: Here, the distance between two points on a plane is the Euclidean distance: x2+y2 \sqrt{x^2 + y^2}

Constraints:

  • 1≤1 \leq k ≤\leq points.length ≤103\leq 10^3
